Rescued animals are receiving temporary care, including veterinary health and comprehensive well-being services, such as veterinary offices, waiting areas, and basic health care. The district administration noted that during the opening period of the CBA, 3,739 animals were cared for, many of which arrived mistreated or in delicate health conditions.
